Archive more repositories? #74

Closed gforcada closed 1 year ago

gforcada commented 1 year ago

We have +350 repositories that are not archived.

~100 of them have not been touched since 2018. I think is rather safe to archive them.

Archiving means making them read-only, they still can be cloned, but no write operations (issues or PRs either? 🤔 ) would be allowed.

This would mean that we only have to try to tame the other ~250 still left 😅

This issue goes together with #73

With both put in motion, it would give us much more focus on where to spend the time, but also specially, signal to external/potential contributors where to NOT spend time on 🍀

We could update their README files just before archiving them by mentioning how to ask to get a repository active again.

How should that go? 🤔 

This repository is archived, if you consider using it again,
please refer to XXX to get in unarchived.

Of course the XXX should be cleared up 😅

IMHO we could point users to https://community.plone.org so we have a safe space to handle those requests. Polluting even more CMFPlone seems like a not so much of a good idea to me.

This way, we point users to newer approaches (squid -> varnish recipes, as a simple example, or most of the js packages -> mockup) as a solution, rather un-archiving a repository. 🤔

@gforcada Can you show a list of the repositories that would be archived? If I see the specific names it might remind me if some of them should still be active for some reason.

I would suggest the following modification. I would assume the task would fall to the AI Team.

This repository is archived and read only.
If you want to unarchive it, then post to the [Admin & Infrastructure (AI) Team category on the Plone Community Forum](https://community.plone.org/c/aiteam/55).

Thanks @stevepiercy for the suggestion ✨

@davisagli a first quick list might be:

Those are the repositories that have not been modified for the longest.

One can go to the Repositories tab in plone organization, filter by archived:false and go to the last pages 😄

davisagli commented 1 year ago

@gforcada +1, that list makes sense to archive

gforcada commented 1 year ago

@davisagli thanks! all of them archived 🧹 ✨

May I ask if you agree on the following batch?

davisagli commented 1 year ago

@gforcada Yep, looks all right with me

gforcada commented 1 year ago

@davisagli thanks! archived them all 🧹 🗑️

A last short one and I would be happy about it for a while 😆

davisagli commented 1 year ago

@gforcada go for it

I would have suggested opening an issue in plone/meta if someone wants to unarchive, but I am too late. :-D

Plone 5.2 is out of maintenance in October this year, and out of security support one year later. One of those would be a good time to archive Products.Archetypes and friends. I suppose this year would be fine: if we need a security release of such a product, we can always unarchive.
